i've been taking biotin consistantly for almost a year now with no problems. I also take B-complex and MSM and I drink lots of water. I guess it just depends on the person cause I feel like it does add to the success of my hair.

Hello D.Lisa I know you asked Njoy, but I used to have acne too what I used was a comfrey and goldenseal mask. Now, if you have sensitive skin goldenseal may sting a little the first time you apply it. Here is the mask it was added to my blog yesterday.

You can also dab a little of Benzoyl peroxide on the infected area, this ingredient helps in mild cases. Hope this helps.

@InVue thanks for the tip chicka!
I checked out the mask recipe on ya blog.....it sound good.
something i'll be willing to try in the near future.

I'm giving Biotin a try. I'm taking a Women's vitamin that have 300mg of it and I'm taking an extra 1000mg tab. So far, it haven't affected my skin in a bad way. I've only been doing it for a week and saw a weird growth spurt in my eyebrows..So maybe that's a good thing. I'll be watching the skin though.

I experienced the acne until I got to taking it with vitamin C...I would take two 1000mg vitamin C pills a day with my one Biotin. my skin actually got clear from it.

When i first tried Biotin in 2009 i had acne but i was taking 1 5000 msg. I now take 3000 msg and have not had any problems with acne. i have only been taking them for a month and havent notice any difference with hair or nails just yet.

For those of you who got acne, did you take B-complex with it? When I started out I got acne, but when I read on here to take B-complex, I don't have that problem anymore.

My hair and nails grow from it, but I also think other factors contribute to the growth. I've never had issues with my skin other than when I took biotin without the b-complex and ended up with a pimple a day, so I don't see where the biotin is helping or hurting.

I believe that may be the problem for a lot of folks. Taking high doses without the balance. I take this Biotin Forte by Vitaline Formulas - VL-1090 - at The Vitamin Shoppe and I have no break outs.

That is a good point. I mega dose vit C for other reasons but I'm sure it probably helps the high biotin. Vit C seems to help every vitamin work better. Even before I was taking the C though I didn't break out with the Biotin Forte. Anyone else take this brand?

So in addition to my multivitamins and fish oil pills, I've been taking biotin steadily ever since it got cold, so I'll say over three months.

Yeah, after getting my eyebrows and whatnot done I'm seeing hair grow back faster but it didn't make me break out. Now MSM makes me break out so I only add that to the repertoire once in a blue cause that stuff makes my nails grow like crazy! But once I stop taking MSM my nails break

But my nails and I'm not I'm not jinxing myself have grown and are staying longish, hallelujerrrrr!

I believe my biotin is 500 mcg.
